G. Gardelli, Italika. Maiolica italiana del Rinascimento. Saggi e Studi, Faenza 1999, pp. 44-45, nn. 17-18; R. Perale, Maioliche da farmacia nella Serenissima, Venice 2021, pp. 120-136 Vases with globular body, resting on a flat base with rounded, slightly everted rim, equipped with robust twisted double-stick handles with lower "pinch" attachment; short neck, narrow mouth with slightly everted rim. The ornamentation contemplates on the front, inside a large circular medallion with a "crumpled" frame, in the first vase the figure of a Dominican saint painted in three-quarter view, grading to the right, a thin cross in his right hand and a book in his left, in the second vase the figure of a Dominican nun saint painted in the same way, but grading to the left. The figures are painted on white enamel, shaded by fine strokes of manganese and highlighted in white tin. On the remaining surface, decoration with "flowers" and "fruits" with acanthus leaves in the form of whorls in orange-red, berries, corollas, knobs, bellflowers. The vases, slightly smaller than the one proposed in the previous lot of this same catalogue, are coherent in morphology and pictorial style, even if here a little more hasty, with the same one, to whose card we refer for further details.
